If you are curious how Wikipedians manage the editorial process for articles, the Wikimedia Foundation has documented it for you: https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/09/18/keeping-information-reliable/

This system was created and evolved over 25 years. It’s a living system and keeps changing and improving.

Saw an influencer trying out some “squatting on your toilet” trend, being scolded for doing something dangerous and then diving down a Wikipedia hole on toilet-related deaths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet-related_injuries_and_deaths

Blessed are the list-makers!

I could use some new sci-fi book recommendations. Can you give me some?

About me: Series are nice. I like physical books, so not into ebook only recommendations. Have read and liked: most Octavia Butler, all Iain Banks, Asimov and Thomas Covenant series (when I was a teen), Murderbot series and other stuff by Martha Wells, Three body problem etc, Andy Weir, Nnedi Okorafor, NK Jemisin, Rivers Solomon, Kameron Hurley, Ann Leckie. I have some one-off books but hopeful that gives you an idea!

I’d pay for a search engine for podcasts, Reddit, substacks etc and newspapers. I want to be pointed at them though rather than only getting summaries. I wonder what it would cost for a search engine to pay for the content? We are kinda finding out from the OpenAI contracts.

Reminded of this gem today https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/5/5b/Releng_flow_onepage.pdf - the result of maybe 100 hours of interviewing coworkers to reveal how (most?) of releng worked in 2014, prior to the deployment of taskcluster in production for Firefox releases.
